William Gilmour, a music teacher from Hamilton in Scotland, joined The Enid as keyboard player in 1977. He composed much of the material on the Enid albums "Touch Me" and "Six Pieces". After leaving The Enid in 1980, he formed the band Craft together with brother Grant and former Enid member Martin Russell. The band produced a self-titled mini-album in 1984 featuring music based on six signs of the zodiac.

The expected follow-up based on the remaining six signs did not appear. The album was released on CD on the US label Kinetic Discs in 1992. The CD added two short bonus tracks, "Branislana" and "And So to Sleep". After Craft split, Willie moved to Inverness and returned to teaching and composing before joining Secret Green in 2007.
