I don't think so. I think they were a manufactured group.

The first afternoon, they went to Trinity Studios to learn "Take Me Away". Pepi Lemer trained them for the week. After that week, they did a showcase for Murphy. Dressed in black and white in different combinations, they sang the song they had prepared "Take Me Away".[16] The group was given the name Touch

But it was a different lineup that was called Touch.

When you think about it, Posh Touch, Sporty Touch, Baby Touch et al just sounds so wrong on so many levels :-D

Baldric

Never thought I'd look this up!

True, in that Emma B wasn't there initially, but I'm not sure whether she joined before or after the name change

Baldric

Emma was the last to join after the name change! (he said knowledgeably)
