Andwella foi uma banda de rock psicodélico de Belfast, Irlanda do Norte, formada em 1968, originalmente como The Method e mais tarde renomeada como Andwella's Dream. O trio era liderado por Dave Lewis (guitarra, teclado, vocal), com Nigel Smith no baixo e vocal, e Gordon Barton na bateria.
O primeiro álbum, como Andwella's Dream, "Love and poetry", foi gravado em Londres em 1968, e contou com a participação do músico de jazz Bob Downes no saxofone e flauta, e Wilgar Campbell na bateria para a faixa "Felix". No entanto, o álbum não vendeu, e Lewis então gravou um álbum solo, prensado de forma privada, pelo selo Ax em 1970, que incluía novas versões de algumas das canções da Andwella's Dream. Em seguida, em 1970, David Lewis escreveu a música e produziu o álbum "Goodbye Dave" do poeta David Baxter, que foi apoiado pela banda.
Com a adição de Dave McDougall na guitarra e vocal, a banda foi renomeada para Andwella. Esta formação lançou "World's end", antes de Dave Struthers substituir Nigel Smith no baixo e Jack McCullock entrar como baterista. Essa formação gravou o último álbum da banda, "People's people", em 1971, após o qual a banda se separou em 1972.
Lewis mais tarde escreveu "Happy to be on an island in the sun", gravada na década de 1970 por Demis Roussos.

Andwella was a psychedelic rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland, formed in 1968, originally as The Method and later renamed Andwella's Dream. The trio was fronted by Dave Lewis (guitar, keyboard, vocal), with Nigel Smith on bass and vocal, and Gordon Barton on drums.
The first album, as Andwella's Dream, "Love and poetry", was recorded in London in 1968, and featured jazz musician Bob Downes on saxophone and flute, and Wilgar Campbell on drums for the track "Felix". However, the album failed to sell, and Lewis then recorded a solo album, privately pressed, on the Ax label in 1970, which included new versions of some of the Andwella's Dream songs. Then in 1970 David Lewis wrote the music for and produced poet David Baxter's "Goodbye Dave" album, which was backed by the band.
With the addition of Dave McDougall on guitar and vocal, the band was renamed Andwella. This line-up issued "World's end", before Dave Struthers replaced Nigel Smith on bass and Jack McCullock joined as drummer. This lineup recorded the bands' last album, "People's people", in 1971, after which the band broke up in 1972.
Lewis later went on to write "Happy to be on an island in the sun", recorded in the 1970s by Demis Roussos.
