Ian Stuart Donaldson

Ian Stuart Donaldson (Born August 1957, died September 1993) was founder of the UK skinhead/punk band Skrewdriver.

Donaldson was brought up in Blackpool, UK, where he formed the band Skrewdriver in 1977. Skrewdriver eventually disbanded in 1979. However, Donaldson reformed them in 1982 with different backing players. The new Skrewdriver emerged as a "Racialist" band with connections to the far right Rock Against Communism (RAC) organisation. Donaldson was leader of "Blood & Honour", a militant neo-Nazi organisation which distributed and still distributes racist and neo-Nazi music and organises illegal concerts.

He was killed in a car crash in September, 1993.
