There are a few events I do each year either very cheaply or free; and on those events I give the same amount of attention, care etc that I give to the gigs which pay enough to enable me to be charitable on these events. Don't underestimate the power of relationships. Of equal value to your skills is the relationships you have with people who you work with and for; and networking for future work. If you've been at that venue for a long time, and this has come out of the blue, then something may be amiss.
