Northern Ireland psych quartet Andwella are to have their three studio albums repackaged and reissued as “To Dream” and released through Numero Group on March 15, 2024. Watch the official unboxing video for the new set through the YouTube player below:
The band released three studio albums, “Love And Poetry” as Andwella’s Dream in 1969 and both “World’s End” (1970) and “People’s People” (1971) as simply Andwella, all through the Reflection Record label. All theee albums are now collection in three-vinyl box set which also features an ephemera-packed booklet.
Andwella formed in 1968 as a trio called The Method, featuring Dave Lewis (guitar/keyboard/vocals), Nigel Smith (bass/vocals) and Gordon Barton (drums) and who recorded “Love And Poetry,” renamed Andwella’s Dream. Dave McDougall on guitar and vocals later joined the Andwella lineup for the band’s final two releases.
Post Andwella, Lewis went on to have a solo career as a singer-songwriter, supporting Fairport Concention and Don McLean and whose “Happy To Be On An Island In The Sun” was a hit for Demis Roussos.
Lewis will play a one-off live show at St Pancras Old Church in London on April 18, 2024. Purchase tickets for the event HERE
