Birmingham band Aquila support Oxfam with download Up-and-coming Midlands stars Aquila (pictured) have given their support to Oxfam and Control Arms with a download of their song Nightmares. The download costs just 99p, and all profits go to Oxfam. They join Irish band Bell X1 who recently donated a free download of their song Still Selling Shoes to Oxfam. Aquila have supported Make Poverty History, Make Trade Fair and Control Arms at their gigs since 2004. Their song Nightmares was inspired by the illegal arms trade, and "the fact that there are enough bullets in the world to kill everyone three times over". As the song puts it: "Point the finger. Pull the trigger. Turn your back and face the wall. Got a figure we can work with. Got 3 bullets for us all." Rich Stokes, Aquila's singer and songwriter, says: "There are more controls on the sale of postage stamps than a weapon designed solely for the purpose of killing another human being. Governments must act now to control this horrendous trade."
