**Dave Meegan** is an Irish record producer, born in [Dublin](/source/Dublin) in 1963.[1][2] Meegan is best known for his work with [Marillion](/source/Marillion).[3][4][5]

Meegan's association with Marillion began when he worked as an assistant engineer on their second album, *[Fugazi](/source/Fugazi_(album))* in 1984. He got a job as a tape operator and trained under [Trevor Horn](/source/Trevor_Horn) in [Sarm Studios](/source/Sarm_Studios). Meegan worked for [U2](/source/U2) as an engineer during the sessions for *[The Joshua Tree](/source/The_Joshua_Tree)* and *[Rattle and Hum](/source/Rattle_and_Hum),* and has also worked alongside [Peter Collins](/source/Peter_Collins_(record_producer)), [Shep Pettibone](/source/Shep_Pettibone) and [Stephen Hague](/source/Stephen_Hague), as an engineer.

In 1989 Meegan produced most of the tracks on the album [The House of Love](/source/The_House_of_Love_(1990_album)), and in 1991 he produced *Slinky*, by the [Milltown Brothers](/source/Milltown_Brothers), and in 1992, *[2 Hell with Common Sense](/source/2_Hell_with_Common_Sense)*, by [Power of Dreams](/source/Power_of_Dreams_(band)).

Meegan returned to Marillion, and produced their albums *[Brave](/source/Brave_(Marillion_album))*, a concept album released in 1994, and *[Afraid of Sunlight](/source/Afraid_of_Sunlight)*, which were their final two albums released on EMI in the 1990s. Meegan also mixed their 1997 album *[This Strange Engine](/source/This_Strange_Engine).* He returned as a producer for their 2001 album *[Anoraknophobia](/source/Anoraknophobia)*, and their 2004 album,*[Marbles](/source/Marbles_(album))*, containing the single "[You're Gone](/source/You're_Gone_(Marillion_song))" which reached number 7 in the [UK Singles Chart](/source/UK_Singles_Chart), the band's highest-charting single since [Steve Hogarth](/source/Steve_Hogarth) replaced original singer [Fish](/source/Fish_(singer)) in 1989. Marillion guitarist [Steve Rothery](/source/Steve_Rothery) has said he admired Meegan's work so much he considered him to be "a sixth member of the band".[6][7]

Meegan stopped working as a producer for several years for personal reasons, but more recently, he has worked with [Andrew Maxwell Morris](/source/Andrew_Maxwell_Morris).[8]
