I've been contracting for nearly 20 years now in the midlands, with core skills inside the MS stack, but there does seem to be increasing demand for skills such as Javascript and associated frameworks alongside the .NET stack, especially if you want top rates.
What I would say is that whenever I speak to hiring managers, they all tell me how difficult it is to find good staff. Often it's not an issue with technical skills; it's attitude and personality fit.
Given you sound like you'd be flexible on rate and location, I'd say you'd have no problem. Lots of roles out there which employers are struggling to fill, often because the rate is well below market.
Only way to find out for sure is to try.
Good luck!
