By the end of 1988, ''Blood & Honour'' magazine was a quarterly that had grown from eight to 16 pages after a few issues. The magazine included concert reports, band interviews, readers' letters, RAC record charts and a column called "White Whispers". A mail-order service called Skrewdriver Services soon formed within its pages, selling items such as white power albums, T-shirts and flags; [[Ulster loyalism|Loyalist]] music tapes; and [[Swastika]] pendants.<ref name=Skrewdriver/>

Later that year, the East Midlands division organised a concert for 25 September. Three nights before the concert, Donaldson and a few friends were travelling in a car that spun out of control into a ditch. Donaldson and another passenger died, and other passengers had minor wounds. The following day, 100 Skrewdriver supporters travelled to the Blood & Honour social in the Midlands, unaware of the deaths.{{cn|date=April 2021}}
Each year, on or near the anniversary of Donaldson's death, a large memorial concert is held. In 2008, a concert in Redhill, Somerset attracted widespread BBC, radio and newspaper coverage.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7632507.stm |title=Family flee 'neo-Nazi' rally |work=BBC News |date=23 September 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/somerset/7632053.stm |title=Probe into 800-strong Nazi event |work=BBC News |date=23 September 2008}}</ref> The memorial concert to mark the 20th anniversary of the death of Donaldson reportedly was the biggest associated gig in the UK with between 1,000 and 1,200 people attending.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Lowles|first1=Nick|title=Huge gig, few Brits|url=http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/blog/nick/huge-gig-few-brits-3071|website=HOPE not hate|access-date=13 July 2014|date=22 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140708072911/http://hopenothate.org.uk/blog/nick/huge-gig-few-brits-3071
