When he was ill on a ferry from Norway to Copenhagen, later in his life, a friend began playfully using the name and, despite Wold not rising to it for a while, it stuck. When asked about his name on British Sunday morning television show, Something for the Weekend, he replied, “I just get sick on boats”. On Top Gear, when asked about his name, Wold replied: “Well, I guess I just don’t like boats!”

Seasick Steve has released eight studio albums, two compilation albums, one Extended play and ten singles. He made his first UK television appearance on Jools Holland’s annual Hootenanny BBC TV show on New Year’s Eve 2006. (via wikipedia.org)
