Mott the Hoople split in 1974, but has since reformed on a number of occasions for tours and live gigs.
Last August, a blue plaque was unveiled in Ross-on-Wye, the hometown of the band’s original bassist and drummer, Peter Overend Watts and Dale Griffin.
A two-day celebration, Mottfest, also took place in the Herefordshire town last October.
Kerr said he had been in touch with its organiser, and was planning what he hoped would be “a great day” in Oswestry.
“A lot of people have said they’ll travel down here to see the plaque unveiling,” he added.
He suggested local celebrations, on a date to be confirmed, could include the showing of a couple of Mott the Hoople films at a local cinema, a record fair and evening entertainment in pubs.
