Blood & Honour

Blood & Honour is a neo-Nazi music promotion network and right-wing extremist political group founded in the United Kingdom by Ian Stuart Donaldson in 1987.

Its official website self-describes as a "musical based resistance network" and dubs its "global confederacy of freedom fighters" Brotherhood 28.

Blood & Honour was established in 1987 by Skrewdriver frontman Ian Stuart Donaldson, supported by the bands No Remorse, Brutal Attack, Sudden Impact, and Squadron.

[3] A concert to "launch" Blood & Honour was held at the St Helier Arms on the 5th of September, 1987, featuring performances from Skrewdriver, No Remorse, Brutal Attack, and Sudden Impact.

The magazine included concert reports, band interviews, readers' letters, RAC record charts and a column called "White Whispers".

Battles ensued for about two hours until the police separated the two groups, and the concert proceeded in the function hall of the Yorkshire Grey pub in Eltham, South-East London.

On 19 December, over 400 supporters gathered at a working men's club in Mansfield to watch No Remorse, Razors Edge and Skrewdriver perform.

[13][14] On the 23rd anniversary of the death of founder, Ian Stuart Donaldson, the annual memorial gig once again attracted international television and media coverage.

[15][16][17][18] Blood & Honour remains active in the UK but has contracted since the 1980s and 1990s; researchers Matthew Worley and Nigel Copsey suggest that its membership consists mainly of "heavily-tattooed men in their fifties reliving their 'glory days' at occasional gigs in back-room pubs".

[23] Its official website self-describes as a "musical based resistance network" and dubs its "global confederacy of freedom fighters" Brotherhood 28.
