Overtones singer: I was badly bullied at school in Cork

The Cork-born lead singer of UK hitmakers The Overtones has spoken of the traumatic bullying he suffered at school.

“I had a tough time of it — I got bullied quite badly.” said Timmy Matley, who attended a school in Cork City.

“I wasn’t into football. I was doing my own thing: I was into singing and acting and performing. It was difficult. I used to dread walking through the school gates every day.”
