PsychepediA

From: Belfast, Northern Ireland

This Belfast trio formed in 1967 and was initially known as the Method. Original band members included David Lewis (lead vocals. guitar, keyboards), Paul Hanna (bass) and Wilgar Campbell (drums).

Major personnel changes occurred in 1968 when Hanna and Campbell were replaced by Nigel Portman-Smith (bass, vocals) and Gordon Barton (drums). The group then relocated to London, changed their name to Andwellas Dream and released the highly rated psychedelic LP Love And Poetry, which features one of England's top avant-garde jazz flautists, Bob Downes. Highlights on the album include the awesome 'Felix' and 'The Days Grew Longer For Love'. In 1970, the group added former Societie member Dave Dougall (keyboards), shortened their name to Andwella and issued a sel-titled LP. About a year later, both Portman-Smith and Barton left the fold and were replaced by David Struthes (bass, vocals) and Jack McCulloch (drums). This lineup only survived for about a year until they finally called it quits for good in 1972.
