Dave Paddon is originally from Northwest River, Labrador but now lives in St.John's, Newfoundland. He has been a commercial pilot for many years and presently works for Air Canada. Dave Paddon - Recitations from Newfoundland's Poet Pilot

Dave began writing recitations in 2007 after moving back to to his home province following 20 years away "up in Canada". So far he has written twelve and hopes the well doesn't go dry for a while yet! The first four are available in handmade chapbooks with number five to be published soon. All twelve are available for download from Itunes and other sites.

Dave performs at various pubs in St.John's and can also be seen at festivals and fundraisers throughout the year.
