Andwellas Dream

Andwella's Dream was a groovy psychedelic rock band hailing from Belfast, Northern Ireland, that burst onto the scene in the late 1960s. Formed in 1968 and led by singer-songwriter David Lewis on vocals, guitar, and keyboards, the group blended trippy folk-rock vibes with progressive elements, drawing influences from the era's counterculture explosion. Their debut album, *Love and Poetry* (1969), released on CBS Records, is often hailed as a cult classic for its dreamy, poetic lyrics and intricate arrangements, featuring tracks like "Shades of Grey" that captured the hazy spirit of the time.

The band shortened their name to Andwella for their follow-up releases on Reflection Records, dropping *World's End* in 1970 and *People's People* in 1971, which leaned into more straightforward rock grooves while keeping that psychedelic edge. Though they didn't achieve massive commercial success, Andwella's Dream left a lasting mark on the underground psych scene before disbanding around 1972. Their music has seen renewed interest through reissues and compilations like *To Dream*, making them a hidden gem for fans of vintage British psychedelia.
