This televised competition sought to find Ireland's entrant for the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest. In the final show, James was pipped by the winner, Chris Doran. Achill Tourism would like to congratulate James for his tremendous performances throughout the competition, which brought a great deal of media attention to Achill.
